Bucksport installing LED lights on waterfront walkway

The future of Bucksport is about to get a little brighter. Sometime within the next two weeks, workers from Allard Electric will begin to replace many of the lights on the waterfront walkway with light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The LEDs will be brighter, more efficient and longer-lasting than the current bulbs, which should help the town save money on its electric bill in the future. Each of the 45 LED bulbs for Bucksport’s walkway costs $90, but the town got a hefty $65-per-bulb rebate from the Efficiency Maine Trust.
